Art- Pointillism
Today, we are going to look at the similarities and differences between the 2 religions of Christianity and Catholicism. We will also look at the key features inside a Roman Catholic and Christian church. But first, let’s look at these 2 religions in more detail..
“All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics”
What do you think this means?
Christianity
• The term “Christian” gets used to cover a wide range of different beliefs, all claiming to be based on the teaching of Jesus Christ
• Christian literally means follower of Jesus Christ, so all followers of Jesus are Christians regardless of their particular faith.
Catholic
•A Catholic is a Christian who follows the Catholic religion as transmitted through the succession of Popes.
•The Pope is the leader of the Catholic church.
•The Catholic church is the largest of the Christian churches – about 60% of Christians are Catholic.
